I've known of people dying of blood poison occasioned by rat bites." "Have you got it in camp with you?" asked Elmer. "We're the original field hospital!" laughed Tommy. "We never leave Chicago without taking with us everything needed in the first aid to the wounded line. We'd be nice Boy Scouts to go poking about the country with nothing with which to heal our wounds!"
His mother, pleased with his misfortune in love, was of course troubled that it should cause him to suffer.
